What is the Pairs Trading multi-solver?

Pairs Trading is a guided workflow that chains 2 individual PolySim solvers into one end-to-end analysis, piping each result into the next step.

Yes. Every step runs entirely in your browser using real numerics — no install, no account, no cloud cost. Custom or private solver packs are available as a paid service.

Data points

Ordinary least squares finds the line that minimizes the sum of squared vertical residuals (the gray drop-lines). R² measures the fraction of variance the line explains — 1 is perfect, 0 is useless. Add noise or remove points to watch the fit and R² degrade.

Governing equation

\overset{y}{^} = 0.00 + 0.00 x, β_{1} = \frac{\sum ( x - x ˉ ) ( y - y ˉ )}{\sum ( x - x ˉ ) ^{2}}, R^{2} = 0.00

Reading this result: R² = 0.00: noise (2) swamps the signal, so least squares can barely tell the slope from flat — adding data points would tighten the estimate.

Horizon (years)

Geometric Brownian motion models a price with constant drift and random volatility — the assumption behind Black-Scholes. Running hundreds of simulated paths reveals the full distribution of outcomes, not just an average. Educational tool, not investment advice.

Governing equation

S_{t + Δ t} = S_{t} e^{(0.07 - \frac{0. 2 ^{2}}{2}) Δ t + 0.2 Δ t Z}, \tilde{S}_{1} \approx $0

Reading this result: Median outcome is about $0, just under the drift-only $107 — GBM compounds in log-space, so volatility always pulls the typical path below the average.
